First of all: Raaawb, that was beautiful, what a wonderful tribute to your friend. I'm sorry for your loss.
Second of all: I'm sorry I haven't been around as much of late, but I was away last week on a vacation to NYC and when I got back and resumed work this week, I came down with some NYC flu or something and have been really ill and am still very much under the weather.
Third of all: McGee and I are not the same person, but we did meet up and have drinks with Pickles last Friday night. I do have photos that prove we are not the same person. :P He was on vacation all this week. He should be back and posting after this weekend, methinks.
